I gotta agree with what wcsoldier said about Kobe on the offensive end. Where are those post moves we saw from him at the beginning of the season?

Where are those post moves we saw from him at the beginning of the season?I dunno man. Im a big fan (especially in the playoffs) of getting to the rim. Kobe needs to be attacking the basket more than posting up. There is no way the refs will foul Kobe out of one of these games so he should force the issue. Create contact and make the refs decide who the foul will be on. Kobe is a superstar, more likely than not the call will go against a Celtic big before it will go against Kobe. Not to mention he is 27-29 from the stripe during this series. He can disrupt the Celtics D far more by getting into the lane..than he can from the post position.
Sheed thinks he has never commited a foul in his entire carreer , don't be surprised if the refs are calling phantom fouls against him ... should have been thrown out of the game after his 5th foul (that was a foul) , his antics are getting old real quick ...the whole Celtics team is a bunch of classless/fake tough players minus Ray Ray .... smh at Fat Fuck and Nate overreactions after they scored a basket

My point is that he should be getting closer to the basket rather than shooting long jumpers.
^^^^ he needs to catch the ball nearer the basket and in better position to attack it ... easier said than done because Celtics D is very good but I dont see any adjustments from Game 3 to Game 4 and worse from the 2008 Finals from Kobe and Phil ... Celtics couldn't buy a bucket for most of the 2nd and 3rd quarter still we couldn't build a big lead because of terrible offensive execution ... Phil is too obsessed with his triangle , fuck it .... run some Kobe/Gasol pick n rolls and change your lineup, you can't play both Odom and Artest too many minutes together , the spacing is terrible because C's don't respect(rightfully) their shot ... put Sasha and Fish in corners 3 , it will give Kobe and Pau way more room to operate ...And Kobe needs to start playing like he usually does , stop overthinking , overdribbling each time he got the ball .... go to the post and to the elbows i.e triple threat positions and do your thing ...
^^^^ that's why I said go the post and/or to the (right) wing i.e triple threat position ... I know it's not used on the post ...
